Thanks for the input everyone. I'll be joining the military in a few months. I've done some diggin' and the Army (don't know about the other branches) is in demand for 38B (Public Affairs). Apparently its' because of the emergin' peace time. Just throwing that out for anyone interested. Does require at least 1 year in active service in order to retrain. Which I'm gonna try to get in. Will be great for my profile. For now, I enlisted as a medic (68W) I don't have my undergrad. But I'm thinking of getting my Public Affairs undergrad from NEU. They seem to lower the requirements slightly for military personnel (well lots of colleges will, including Penn State). I'm just trying to make a roadwork for the next 5 years. You know what they say "Poor preparation prevents poor performance." Long as hell but true. And yes, I'm pursuing an MPA. Cheers.

I questioned HKS if military background helps fullfilling the experience portion. Admissions said "Yes!". Lol , that's all she wrote. But I want to ask you guys. What's your opinion on this? I'm definitely eyeing an MPA about 5 to 7 years from now. It's possible I could change my mind, but so far, it's all I really am inclined & excited to pursue. Thanks
